Painting with 3rd and 4th graders

Friday, February 10, 2012

Hello blogging friends! If you don't already know this about me, I will tell you now. When I am not painting, making collages or playing with my daughter, I teach elementary school art. I wanted to share with you this awesome project that my third and fourth graders worked together on this week.

I was so excited to see this idea of Circle Painting!! I first learned about it at Barbara's Thought of the Day and then at We Heart Art. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. for this wonderful idea. We are making several collaborative canvases with this technique and they are going to be raffled off at our end of the year school FUNdraiser. The kids had a blast creating these paintings. This is the first video I have edited using Imovie! See the video below to watch the kids painting these canvases. I'm planning on making two more canvases with an older class to keep at school for display.
